EZ-PATH FIRE STOPPING DEVICES POWERED BY SPECIALISTS UNDERSTANDING PASSIVE FIRE PROTECTION Passive fire protection, or containment, refers to products or methods which slow or prevent the spread of fire. This needs to be built into a building’s fire protection scheme along with detection (systems that detect fire) and suppression (systems that extinguish or prevent the spread of fire). Fire rated walls and floors, which contain fire, can lose their resistance once openings are made to allow services, such as cables, to pass through. These openings need to be sealed to prevent fire spreading. Fire stopping products Fire stopping products are used to contain fire and with the same or higher fire rating as the walls and floors restore the fire rating of walls and floors. they are installed in are used to maintain integrity. APPLICATIONS Legrand’s EZ-Path range is a flexible and cost-effective solution that meets fire stopping requirements in all market sectors where passive fire protection is required from data centres, which have significant cabling requirements, to multi-dwelling units, with single cable requirements. DATA CENTRES HEALTHCARE EDUCATION The cabling requirement within data Healthcare installations require It is crucial to minimise disruption when centres is significant and constantly rigorous planning and have numerous installing or updating fire stopping changing firewalls products in education settings COMMERCIAL OFFICES HOTELS MULTI-DWELLING UNITS Offices are regularly changing and Hotels have a significant cabling Multi-dwelling units require many reconfiguring requiring updates to requirement including CCTV and single cable installations for satellite cabling etc upgrades to multimedia equipment television etc CHOOSING A FIRE STOPPING DEVICE FOR ELECTRICAL AND DATA INSTALLATIONS Before choosing a fire stopping device it’s vital to a little more complicated with existing buildings. understand the requirements of the building it will be The type of wall or floor used has a bearing on the fire installed in. stopping device that you can use. The following wall types Firstly it is important to be aware of the construction of can be used for passive fire protection: the building and the areas within it.

Increased capacity, new equipment and replacement of obsolete equipment can mean that electrical and data cables need to be added and removed regularly. It’s important to remember this when planning passive fire protection as doing this at a later date will mean drilling and cutting of walls and floors and therefore loss of fire resistance during and after works. FIRE CLASSIFICATION It is also important to know the required fire classification of the one side, and also restricts temperature rise on the unexposed area the fire stopping device will be installed in. side to below the required standard. Fire classification E: Integrity The classification is formed by putting either E or EI followed Fire resistance class E: Integrity demonstrates the ability to by the time in minutes that the wall or fire stopping device is prevent the passage of flames or hot gases through the module approved to. when exposed to fire on one side, and to prevent the occurrence of flames on the unexposed side. Fire classification EI: Integrity and Insulation EI120 / E180 Fire resistance class EI: Offers the highest level of protection Integrity & Integrity from flames, smoke and heat. This classification of fire rated Insulation devices performs to the standard of E when exposed to fire on 1 WHY CHOOSE EZ-PATH FIRE STOPPING 3 Modular plates DEVICES 1 allow for increased EZ-Path mechanical fire stopping devices offer Single cable capacity the client, specifier, contractor and fire inspector devices available a solution for passive fire protection through for cable up to walls and floors where electrical and data cables 14mm in diameter have been installed. EZ-Path devices contain a factory fitted intumescent lining which reacts to either flame or heat (at 177oC) by expanding by 800% in size, closing the pathway. n EZ-Path can be used for power and data cables up to 100mm in diameter n The device is approved empty or 100% visually full allowing for easy inspection n Does not require a fire specialist to install n Approved for use in all wall and floor types n Available in two sizes. The 33 module is ideal for restricted spaces in ceiling and floor voids and 44+ module for all other applications n Cables can be added or removed without the need for additional holes which means the fire rating of the wall or floor does not have to be restored and dust and debris is not created, thus controlling cost 3.5 2.5 1.5 Cost of the solution 2 0.5 Certified for use Initial 1st modification 2nd modification 3rd modification 4th modification with ROCKWOOL installation Mortar Intumescent foam EZ-Path ablative coated batt 2 5 Approved empty or 6 100% visually full Devices can be retrofitted if cabling is already installed 4 Extension pieces available for walls thicker than 250mm 3 EZ-Path® fire rated pathway Series 33 selection chart marked certification 267 Fire resistance : EN 1366-3 Classification : EN 13501-2 ETA 18 / 0412 76 ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ ≥ All EZ-Path systems are approved empty up to 100 % visual fill of cable 76 CM250018 (EZD33T) Plate dim.
